Chapter 180: Dealing with One by One
"How dare you, such a rebellious and unfilial son like you exist in this world? How could I have given birth to you in the first place?"
Old Madam Cheng was so angry that she banged the ground with her cane and pointed at Lieutenant General Cheng and cursed him non-stop.
Deputy General Cheng was completely unmoved, but he knew that if he didn't handle the matter properly, the eldest lady and her two legitimate sons and daughters would never be able to return to the Cheng Mansion.
The master kept him in Yanzhou City because he must have valued him, and more importantly, because of his wife.
If it weren't for Madam Xiao, how could Cheng Yi Zhong enjoy peace in Yanzhou City?
"Come here, kindly invite the old lady to go to the manor."
"Yes." The other two confidants immediately stepped forward.
Madam Cheng was extremely angry and shook off the hands of her confidants who were trying to support her. "I won't leave. If I die, I'll die in this house. I won't go to any manor."
The old lady knew that once she left this mansion, she would never be able to return to the capital, and she would never be able to even enter this mansion again.
Seeing this, Deputy General Cheng slowed down his tone slightly and said, "I hope you will listen to my arrangements."
It's not difficult to hear the determination in his words.
Old Madam Cheng shuddered all over and raised her throat in disbelief. Before she could curse, Deputy General Cheng turned around and waved his sleeves to avoid looking at her.
Seeing this, the two confidants respectfully asked Madam Cheng for permission: "Madam, please."
"I said I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere."
call out!
As soon as Madam Cheng finished speaking, suddenly, Deputy General Cheng put the blade on Cheng Kang's neck.
Cheng Kang, who was kneeling on the ground, choked in disbelief. He was too scared to breathe and looked up at Laozi: "Dad~"
Cheng Hua's face turned pale, his knees went weak and he fell to the ground, so scared that he forgot to cry.
She couldn't believe that her father actually drew his knife on her brother.
Suddenly, Cheng Hua felt that the man in front of him, whom he had called father for more than ten years, was so strange and scary.
"Of course, I wouldn't dare disrespect you, but you should think about the consequences."
Mrs. Cheng, who was still struggling, turned pale. Seeing her eldest son's resolute back, she gritted her teeth fiercely and held her breath unwillingly.
He actually dared to use Kang Ge'er to threaten her, an old woman. Does the old son really want to kill his own son?
Cheng Kang was her most beloved grandson, so Old Lady Cheng had to consider whether her eldest son would be too impulsive.
No matter what, as long as Kangger and Huajie'er remain in the mansion, Kangger is already fifteen years old and will soon have to marry and be on his own. In the future, he will definitely find a way to bring her, his grandmother, back to the mansion.
Thinking of this, Madam Cheng gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice, unwillingly: "Let's go!"
Cheng Hua saw that her grandmother, who had always loved her and her brother, was actually asked to leave the house by her father, and she burst into tears of despair.
Hearing the footsteps receding behind him, Cheng Xian put away the long sword in his hand and looked coldly at Cheng Kang and Cheng Hua, brother and sister.
He began to punish the illegitimate children: "What a great eldest son of the Cheng family! You are already fifteen years old, and yesterday you watched Jing'er being bullied by your grandmother and my mother. How can you be worthy of the title of eldest son of our Cheng family?"
Cheng Kang was so frightened when he heard this that he dared not even breathe. He kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Dad, I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Cheng Hua was so shocked when he saw this that he knelt down quickly: "Daddy~"
Deputy General Cheng's eyes were full of disappointment. It was because he was too conceited in the past that he failed to educate his children well, which led to them learning the unpresentable behavior of his mother and Mrs. Da.
"Someone is coming."
Hearing Laozi's shout again, the brother and sister shuddered suddenly.
"Yes." Two more confidants came forward.
"Bring Cheng Kang to the barracks. From now on, he will eat, live, and train with the soldiers. If he disobeys orders, he will be punished according to military regulations."
"Yes."
Cheng Kang looked up in shock, his head buzzing. He was the eldest son of the Cheng family and the future successor of the Cheng family. How could he train with inferior soldiers?
"Dad, I am your son—"
"Shut up!" Before Cheng Kang could finish his sobbing words, Deputy General Cheng interrupted him sternly, saying, "The men of my Cheng family are upright and honest. Even if they are training in the camp, they are still responsible for defending our country. Every man in the world is born into wealth and is the treasure of their parents. How are you any different, Cheng Kang?"
Cheng Yizhong thought that the only way now was to send Cheng Kang to the military camp for reformation, which might temper his character and the child might still be saved.
Cheng Kang was so angry that he blurted out, "Dad, you are biased. Why don't you let Cheng Jin go to the barracks?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Deputy General Cheng's face became even gloomier: "How dare you mention Jin'er? If it weren't for Lady Li's timely rescue yesterday, have you ever thought about whether Jin'er would still be alive now?"
hum~
Facing Laozi's angry rebuke, Cheng Kang's brain was buzzing and he fell to the ground like a lost soul.
In Cheng Kang's eyes, his father always obeyed his grandmother's arrangements, and was especially fond of his young mother. He treated his eldest son like a treasure and always praised him as a martial arts genius.
How could my father change so suddenly and decisively?
Seeing this, the two confidants hurried forward, lifted up Cheng Kang, and took him out.
Cheng Hua watched as his mother, grandmother, and brother were all kicked out of the house by his father.
At this moment, she was the only one left in the house, with no one to rely on. She looked at her father helplessly and terrified.
"Daddy, Daddy~" Cheng Hua called out softly, tears unconsciously sliding down her cheeks again, and she looked somewhat pitiful.
Somehow, the look of his eldest daughter made him feel as if he was seeing the Da family, whom he extremely didn't want to think of, and he turned his face away in disgust.
Then, he said in a cold voice, "From now on, you will live alone in the side courtyard. Without my permission and the consent of the eldest lady, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard before you get married."
Ding~
Cheng Hua fell to the ground again.
Her punishment came. Her father marginalized everyone around her and put her under house arrest.
Cheng Hua's helpless eyes were extremely empty until her father didn't even look at her again. He turned around and strode out of the hallway.
Cheng Hua felt extremely regretful and didn't understand how things had developed to this point. Why did their father, who had always treated them so well, send their grandmother to the farm and sell her mother for the sake of Liang?
It turned out that everything the young lady said to her before was false, and the man’s sweet words and promises were all lies.
Her father kept insulting her, saying that she was a concubine and that concubines were servants who could be sold at will.
In the end, she had learned those vulgar sayings about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. From the bottom of her heart, her father never treated her and her brother the same as Cheng Jin and Cheng Yi, the bitch brother and sister.
Cheng Hua gritted his teeth and secretly hated her, but so what.
She no longer had the support of trustworthy elders around her, and in the future, she would become a concubine's daughter in this mansion who could be manipulated by Liang at will.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hua felt a chill in his heart!
